To reduce prejudice and increase understanding of equality through direct teaching across the curriculum.

To move beyond deterministic notions of fixed ability and to model teaching and learning behaviours that avoid labelling.

To narrow the gap between boys’ and girls’ attainment in writing in the primary phase (Y2 – Y6).

To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experience, both in and beyond the school.

To eradicate prejudice related bullying in relation to the protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act 2010.
